Kelly- I'm just sort of following your lead on the whole Mar/Salem/Oblivion thing for the moment. Let me know if there's anything I should change or or tweak or whatever to make it fit with how this should go. Also, feel free to PM me if you want to about it ^_^
Seal- awesome first post! I am stoked to have you here

And you took the "I didn't intend the post to be so long" words right out of my mouth. I just put up a beefy one >.<
My characters are-
Al- An artificial intelligence currently inhabiting a prototype Chee body. He's projecting a hologram so that he appears to be a mostly-native-American guy in his early-to-mid 20's with a perpetual smirk and shoulder-length dark hair. He's wearing a full on tuxedo for now. He's at a table in the bar, talking to Zorish, Keshin and Sami.
Salem- A human "trader." He's probably about 6' tall, curly/wavy red hair, blue eyes, also in his early 20's. He's dressed in an all-out cowboy getup, complete with hat and long brown coat, for no good reason. He's currently aboard his own ship with Mar.
The Malleon- A colony of intelligent microbes (no, wait... intelligent colony of microbes, since they share one consciousness) aboard Salem's ship. Probably won't be hearing from them all that much, and I'll describe them in-thread if we do.
